Hold the presses: The New York Post is getting a price bump.

On Monday, the Post will bump its weekday newsstand price from 75 cents to a dollar, a subscription services representative with the company confirms. The Saturday newsstand price will increase to $1.25, while the Sunday edition jumps to $1.50.

The increase comes just one year after the Post bumped the newsstand price up from 50 cents to 75 cents, so provided they don't lose too many readers, maybe you'll see another hike this time next year.

But why do we Beltway politicos and journos care? Because somewhere inside of us, we all wish we had a scandalous tabloid to wake up to.
